SESSION:
The Shocking Truth - The State Of The State In Self-Advocacy
SPEAKER:
Michael A Mayer, Senior Partner, Community Resource Alliance (CRA)
DESCRIPTION: The Advocacy Ambassador Initiative (funded by the NC DD Council) spent
over a year investigating the status of self-advocacy in North Carolina and discovered some very
surprising reasons why these efforts have continued to struggle in the state. They also discovered
5
NC TIDE 2015
Spring Conference
www.nctide.org
what self-advocates thought about many issues currently facing them and what they felt would be
of most benefit to existing and new efforts.
This session will also share an overview of the core recommendations from the Advocacy
Ambassadors to address the problems going forward - and how we can all help assure success in
the future (and avoid becoming part of the problem going forward).
SESSION OBJECTIVES:
Participants will:
1. gain an understanding of what the problems associated with self-advocacy have been in
the past and how those problems have manifested and affected virtually everyone
involved with the system of supports in NC;
2. will gain an understanding of the primary solutions that have been proposed by the
Advocacy Ambassadors; and
3. develop options for how they can personally and professionally help to prevent the
perpetuation of the historical problems and why that matters to them and the people we
are trying to support
10:00 – 10:15 A.M.

Track 1
SESSION:
Collaborations Through Aligned Services - North Carolina Division Of
Veterans Affairs And The Division Of Mental Health
SPEAKER:
Brandon Wilson, Regional Training Coordinator and State Veterans Service
Officer, NC Division of Veterans Affairs
DESCRIPTION: Today when a veteran is in need of a particular service, finding the appropriate
avenue to obtain this service can be difficult. With the red tape and lack of navigational tool this
can be very frustrating and may eventually end in failure. The North Carolina Division of
Veterans Affairs is attempting to collaborate and team with other State, Federal and local
resources to fulfill this need and to make obtaining these services easier. With more than 21,000
veterans projected to leave active duty and call North Carolina their home in 2015, this will triple
what our state has been accustomed to serving in the past. Due to the recent wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, mental health issues are on the rise. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression
and Anxiety are among these issues. Alcoholism and substance abuse seem to accompany these
disabilities. Due to many factors to include characterization of discharges, some veterans are
unable to utilize the VA Healthcare system. With these kind of barriers and challenges, this
session will not only educate you on VA benefits as a whole and give a better understanding of
these services, it will also give you the tools to better assist clients. This can provide solutions and
opportunities that may enhance the care for this population that have provided the opportunity for
all of us to live free. With the implementation of new VA programs such as the VA Choice Card
Program and NCDVA's Resource guide these opportunities to utilize network providers and
communication between agencies are becoming a standard practice, thus maximizing the
investment. Being mindful of these services and networking with advocates in your respective
region will make this initiative more successful.

Part 1- Evidence Based Practices In Autism Intervention
Louise Southern, Lead Behavior Analyst, Autism Society of North Carolina
Whitney Luffman, Lead Clinical LPA, Autism Society of North Carolina
DESCRIPTION: Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) are those interventions that researchers have
shown to be safe and effective, based on sound scientific research. Efficacy, according to the
National Professional Development Center (NPDC) on Autism Spectrum Disorders, must be
established through peer-reviewed research in scientific journals using accepted high standard
methodologies. Given the overwhelming array of intervention approaches available (some with
empirical support, some lacking empirical support), many family members and professionals
express confusion as they try to navigate these treatment options. This presentation provides
stakeholders with a framework for understanding and organizing EBPs, with emphasis on the
integration of EBPs. The presentation offers practical examples of how these techniques can be
implemented in home, school and community contexts to produce desired outcomes for
individuals with ASD.
SESSION OBJECTIVES: Participants will be able to:
1. identify criteria for a practice to earn the label “Evidence Based Practice”;
2. identify larger methodological umbrellas under which best practices in autism intervention

SESSION:
Autism: Beyond Diagnosis
SPEAKER:
Ann Palmer, Faculty Member of the Carolina Institute for Developmental
Disabilities at University of North Carolina
DESCRIPTION: As the parent of a 32 year old son diagnosed with autism at the age of 2, and a
professional working in the field of autism supporting families for the last 20 years, Ms. Palmer
provides a unique perspective on the autism experience. With humor and touching stories from
her own experience, Ms. Palmer will discuss what a parent may experience when their child is
first diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, describing the changes in day-to-day life as
well as the emotions a parent must balance as they learn to be an advocate for their child in the
schools and in the community.
The presenter will discuss the surprising consolations that many parents discover in this
experience. This includes the helpful connection to other parents and family members with
similar experiences and the support these relationships can give, not only for the autism-related
challenges in our lives but in the challenges that life presents that have nothing to do with autism.
Ms. Palmer will also focus on the consolations that come from developing relationships with
incredible professionals on our journey with our loved one with ASD and the qualities of the
professionals that helped her family the most.
In preparing our children for their future adult lives, the presenter will emphasize the importance
of teaching self-advocacy skills including the ability to make choices and to ask for help. She will
also describe the importance of learning the functional skills that are necessary for individuals to
have as they transition out of school to living and working in the community. Ms. Palmer will
describe how individuals with ASD are life-long learners, and that the future will often bring
unexpected accomplishments and successes, no matter where the individual may fall on the
autism spectrum. She will use the example of her own son, who graduated from a large state
university and another young man, who is non-verbal and lives in a residential farm program, to
show that the future we fear is often not what we expect and all of our children can be successful
and have a full and happy life. This presentation will be inspiring and helpful to parents and
family members as well as professionals and self-advocates.
SESSION OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
1. describe what a parent experiences when their child is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum
Diagnosis;
2. explain the importance of teaching functional skills in preparing the individual with autism
for adulthood;
3. examine ways to support families who are living with autism;
4. recognize that individuals with ASD are lifelong learners and the future can hold many
possibilities and opportunities; and
5. discuss the consolations and benefits of parenting a child with autism

Carolina leaders are rising to the call. In 2014, CMS published shared, core competencies for the
Direct Support Workforce in four sectors: aging and senior services; behavioral health;
intellectual and developmental disabilities; and physical disabilities. In doing so, CMS affirmed
that education and competency-based training programs have the potential to strengthen the
quality of the Direct Support Workforce and improve service delivery. That same year, Monarch,

Support Workforce development. Join us to consider the research and practices critical to
recruiting, training and retaining a workforce critical to achieving quality outcomes.

workforce;

Part 2- Evidence Based Practices In Autism Intervention
SPEAKERS:
Louise Southern, Lead Behavior Analyst, Autism Society of North Carolina
Whitney Luffman, Lead Clinical LPA, Autism Society of North Carolina
DESCRIPTION: Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) are those interventions that researchers have
shown to be safe and effective, based on sound scientific research. Efficacy, according to the
National Professional Development Center (NPDC) on Autism Spectrum Disorders, must be
established through peer-reviewed research in scientific journals using accepted high standard
methodologies. Given the overwhelming array of intervention approaches available (some with
empirical support, some lacking empirical support), many family members and professionals
express confusion as they try to navigate these treatment options. This presentation provides
stakeholders with a framework for understanding and organizing EBPs, with emphasis on the
integration of EBPs. The presentation offers practical examples of how these techniques can be
implemented in home, school and community contexts to produce desired outcomes for
individuals with ASD.

The Impact Of An ASD Diagnosis On The Family Building
Supportive Relationships With Extended Family, Friends, And
Professionals
SPEAKER :
Ann Palmer, Faculty Member, Carolina Institute For Developmental
Disabilities, University of North Carolina
DESCRIPTION: The presenter is a parent of a 32 year old son with autism and a
professional who has worked with families for more than 20 years. This workshop is based
on the presenter’s books, A Friend’s and Relative’s Guide to Supporting the Family with
Autism: How Can I Help? and Families of Children with Autism: What Educational
Professionals Should Know, coauthored with Dr. Lee Marcus. After receiving a diagnosis
for their child, the parents’ everyday life can change dramatically. They often find
themselves taking their child to numerous therapies and doctors and working with school
supports they never thought they would need. The parent may also be struggling to balance
all the emotions from this experience such as sadness, fear, confusion, frustration, and hope.
Their extended family and friends may also be struggling following the diagnosis and may
not know what to say or do to help the parents. Initial reactions to the diagnosis can vary and
can put a strain on the relationship between the parents and their family members and
friends. Using personal quotes from parents, extended family members, and friends, the
presenter will discuss some of the obstacles that can get in the way of developing supportive
relationships. The workshop will also cover some of the negative reactions to the diagnosis
that can occur and what parents, family members, and friends can do to build more
supportive relationships.
15
NC TIDE 2015
Spring Conference

The parent/professional relationship is also important to providing the support a family needs,
especially during the initial time following a diagnosis. The presenter will discuss the
stressors that both the parents of children with ASD and the professionals who work with them
may bring to a relationship and the importance of understanding the perspective of each party.
She will describe the best qualities of parents and professionals and suggestions on how to
prevent problems from occurring. The presentation also includes strategies for developing and
maintaining a good working relationship between professionals and parents.
SESSION OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be
able to:
1. explain the changes that occur for the parents when they receive an ASD diagnosis
for their child;
